The ministry warned that Ebola is an aggressive virus that's up to 90 percent fatal among infected cases.

According to the World Health Organization, the virus is one of the world’s most virulent diseases.

As of July 30, the WHO working in partnership with the ministries of health in Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Nigeria announced a cumulative total of 1,440 suspected and confirmed cases of Ebola virus disease and 826 deaths, since the current outbreak began in Guinea in February.

The infection is transmitted by direct contact through blood, body fluids and tissue of infected animals or people. During an outbreak, those at the highest risk of infection are health workers, family members and others in close contact with sick people and deceased patients, the WHO warned.
